SEEING THE LIGHT

Michael Edwards

 

SEEING THE LIGHT

 

 

 

‘By Jove it’s dark when it’s not light’ he said when he went out last night;

this simple fact he  ought to know and having given  it some thought:

it must have been the afternoon he missed a lecture at the Uni.

          Love the comment - it calls for a simple two line poem - I'll think about it.

          • Michael Edwards

            did you paint that wonderful picture. its lovely and has such vibrancy about it.

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes - I\'m an artist and all my postings here on MPS are accompanied by a piece of my work. This one is approx 16ins by 20ins and I am about to paint a few more in this series so you might want to keep an eye out. Thank you so much for your kind comments which give such encouragement much appreciated.

              Delightful picture today, most striking.

              I missed so many lectures at Uni but always saw the light. It's left me dazed and confused. I see sleepwalking dogs and a friend of mine is haunted by a one legged doll. She phones me late at night saying she can hear it's footstep on the stairs.

                Only on every other step I assume. Cheers da.

                I LOVE the picture. Perhaps he just needed an evening course!

                  He wasn't very bright - couldnt find his way in the dark. Cheers SC.
